She made America Ferrera a star in the hit comedy “Ugly Betty” and now it looks like Salma Hayek may do the same for another up and coming actor soon with the news that she’ll be producing a new series based on the iconic Latino character Cisco.
According to Deadline.com, Hayek is set to produce a “modern day re-retelling” of “The Cisco Kid” for CBS in conjunction with her production company, Ventanarosa.
The original character of Cisco – who was a fixture in author O. Henry’s 1907 tale “The Caballero’s Way” – was a central part in movies throughout Hollywood’s silent film era and was the subject of a long-running syndicated television series from 1950-56.
